Various Indian members of Council have expressed themselves against it on different grounds. Some contend that many parents cannot afford, as bread-winners, to be deprived of the help of their children. According to others, there is already much complaint amongst parents that school-going boys do not make good agriculturists and affect to consider work in the fields as beneath their dignity.

Far more is at stake the health or sickness of little babies, the education or ignorance of children, virtue or vice in young daughters, honesty or criminality in young sons, the working power of bread-winners, the integrity of families, the provision for old age in a word, the welfare and happiness or the misery and degradation of the plain people are involved in the cost of living.

The architect of his own fortune, he has a strong and abiding sympathy for those bread-winners who struggle against poverty. The reform of the civil service has met with President Arthur's earnest support, and his messages show that every department of the government has received his careful administration.

The cases where women ruin their husbands by extravagance are exceptional. As a rule, the men are the bread-winners; but the careful saving and managing and contriving come from the women. I was once at a little musical party in New York, where several accomplished amateur singers were present, and with them the eminent professional, Miss Adelaide Phillipps. The amateurs were first called on.

Women and girl newspaper-sellers have become familiar figures in Paris, and their number is increasing steadily as the needs of the army are depriving more and more families of their bread-winners.

Poor, unresourceful Henderson surveyed the crowded shack helplessly, but that round-faced, smiling wife of his was not a particle discouraged. "We'll just build in two sets of bunks, on each end of the house," she laughed. "The children won't mind sleeping on 'shelves, for the bread-winners must have the bed."

Moreover, there was always the proclamation which threatened the bread-winners of Boulogne with death if Marguerite Blakeney escaped, and which would be in full force until Sir Percy had written, signed and delivered into Chauvelin's hands the letter which was to be the signal for the general amnesty. Chauvelin had indeed cause to be satisfied with his measures.

"I'd like to learn everything; and when I grow up I'll write for a paper!" It was such a characteristic wish that all the company laughed. Then remarked father Johns: "I reckon, Miss Armacost, that the lad's idea of a 'home, an 'asylum, is a place where poor children can be taught to become useful bread-winners. Apparently, he doesn't think a life of rich idleness can be the happiest."

And he started at a pace so rapid that the others could hardly keep him in sight. After the first repulse of the crowd, Offitt, Bott, and a few more of the Bread-winners, together with some of the tramps and jail-birds who had come for plunder, gathered together across the street and agreed upon a diversion.

I believe that a great amount of sin and misery springs from the weakness and inefficiency of women." "Perhaps that's so, but what are you going to do about it?" "I am going to join the great rank of bread-winners. Mr. Waterman has advertised for a number of saleswomen, and I intend to make application." "When he advertises for help he means white women," said Robert.
